- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on understanding the unique challenges of young adults, men, and those experiencing stress, anxiety, and interpersonal difficulties.
With a deep commitment to holistic healing, I focus on helping clients build self-love, improve communication, and overcome barriers like social anxiety, isolation, and shame. My therapeutic work addresses a wide range of experiences, including trauma, mood disorders, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.
I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive perspective to our work together. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can explore your challenges, develop meaningful coping strategies, and rediscover your inner strength. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels comfortable and empowering for you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
